FRENCU. PAPERS. ~: — " 4 0 11 Pr . ., the gip*, April 4.) (Front h ilt, 3.--A letter frcini Corfu % of 7th Multi days '" Wehave rteeivad from Zara*, Santa Maura, and . Prevess, the- mem thai'ort-the 24th February the Egyptaitis began to unmade liiisolitughi. According to the -Journal of tha t Phee;'the'enetiies' wele to the tfuntber of 25,000 men, of whom 8,806 Were 'regularly organizid ; 6,450 irregular . troops; and 1000 -'of those of Redschid Pacha. After threedays' con. 4iitic; the besiegers supposed that they had wearied out , . the Weeks, at 4 proceeded to attempt to carry the place by storm; but the Greeks repulsed them, with their accustom. ed . valour, and they sustained a severe loss. Two other attempts bad a similar result. On the Sd the Greeks made a sally, pursued the enemy to the foot of the PlAwntains, made themselves masters of their batteries, spiked the mortars and cannon, and took a great quan lity of booti. The three attacks succeeded each other in the time of nine hours. Ibrahim had previously offered large sums to the Governor to surrender the place, premising to let him • carry away the guns, and all the moveable property. His pro. posals were rejected with contempt. It seems that the retiring of iltelochid Pacha was not in consequence of a misunderstand. ing, but a stratagem concerted with Ibrahim, to throw the circa* off their guard ; but the project failed. The loss of the • enemy Is estimated at 5,000 killed." The Gazette of Florence contains a letter from Sante Maura, of the 4th of March, which confirms almost all these details; end adds, that the Greeks lost many men. (From the Journal de Paris of Monday. ) i i FRANKFORT OW Trus ODER, MARCH 25.—(Private Letter:)—The last letters from Petersburgh say, that Lord Wellington, and the Ambassadors of France, Austria, and Prussia, continue to have frequent conferences with Count Nesselrode, at the close of which their Excellencies alternately send couriers to their respective Governments. Great activity prevailed in the offices for Foreign Affairs. It is affirmed that a plan is preparing there, the result of which will be to put an end to the Ivor which ravages the Peloponnesus, by means of conciliatory proposals, which will be made to the Porte in the name of the Great Powers. According to persons who arc well informed, the plan is to establish the independence of Greece, founded on a system of Government like that intended for Moldavia and Wallachia, if the Porte at length conforms to what the Treaty of Bucharest has formally stipulated with re. lopect to these two Principalities. (From the Pilots of Monday.) Plan, AMU. 2.—Letters from Port-au-Prince of Feb. 3, say that Several rich inhabitants of that Colony have offered to • President Boyer, to subscribe the 120 millions still remaining to be paid to France, in order to participate in the advantages . which must necessarily accrue to the lenders. Letters from Berlin inform us, that Austria requires of the ' Congress of St. Petersburgh, that in conformity with the stipti lationa of the treaty of Chaumont, or of the Defensive Alliance of the Five Great Powers, measures of precaution shall be adopt ed against revolutionary principles. England, it is said, refuses .. ail co-operation in this respect, fearing that these measures may be of such a nature as to injure Constitutional liberties, and to sanction the principles of foreign interference in the in ternal atfaira of representative Governments. • The ilfunnheim Gazette states, on the authority of private letters fro n Russia, that arrests continue to take place in gyve . ral provinces of the empire ; but that St. Petersburg!), Mos cow, and the other great cities, are perfectly tranquil.

The following communication on the conduct of the Hapian Government, is extracted from Journal published in the United States : A Gentleman, lately returned from Hayti, relates some facts which it is important that those who may have the inten tion of emigrating thither, should be informed of. " The principal, and I believe sole secretary, Inginhac, has the greatest aversion to strangers, and many emigrants who hare arrived from the United States, In consequence of the offers of the Government to pay their passage, &c., have found their situation so uncomfortable that they have desired to return, which, however, they were not permitted to do till alissehsil refunded the money paid for their passage out. In. ,ginliec fills the only avenue to the President's ear, and pre. rents all that he pleases, and more particularly strangers,. 'from teeing or speaking with him. Our informant was Aimed a month and a half with promises that the next 'day he should see the President. He waited on the Secretary as often as every other day, by appointment, to be presented to ,the President, yet he never was presented, although ho bore the best letters of introduction to many respectable men in Hayti; Auld among' them, one to Inginhac himself, from a gentleman whom be affected to call his dearest friend ; he was also aided And treated with particular attention by the Senator Chene. kite, one of the most learned and respectable men in the "Government or Island -of Hayti. In addition to all this, he Was the bearer of a valuable present, sent out by a citizen of this place, to President Boyer; which present was received by Inginhae, and nothing more heard of it ; no answer, no thanks, not a syllable about it ; but every time the gentleman called, the Secretary affected not to recog nise him, and put on a vacant stare, thrusting his nose almost into the gentleman's face. Disgusted and discouraged, the poor man, after a month and a half of promises and insults of tills kind, asked for his passports, and returned to Boston. "He states further that Boyer is a mere cypher at Port AA Prince; that - it is Inginbac who rules, and tai an avarici ous tyrant. Ile owns immense estates, and oppresses the poor beyond measure. A Spanish negro was employed in one of-his sugar worke, and, like the rest of his fellow-labourers, eoald get his pay only when hie master pleased, which was vary seldom. This man, after many fruitless attempts to get t i ye wagett, went and secretly engaged a passage on board a ship, about to get under way ; he then armed himself with a p a i r o f istols and suddenly stood before Inginbac. " You are very Mold today l" said the secretary--"I come for my money," M said the Spaniard , " and if you call your guard, you are a dead rise—pay me my wages before you move from that spot, or I aßfl instantly kill you." " I will go and get the mone y," sa id Inginhac. -‘ " No, you stir not from that spot till lam lief& If you refuse, or call your guard, or, stir from that spot, I will kill you, though I. die for it. Finding that there was no escaPe., Inginhavald the man hit wages, to the a mount of NO dr 460 dollars. le negro then made his escape, and proceeded en hoard, and was aeon out of the reach of the Hayden Go. Pertiment. " An officer came . from South America to offer his s erv i ces w H ayt i ; he, like the narrator of these facts, was debarred by ingtinfiac from speaking with thel'resideht. At last, after three, monti t„, foun d means to a ddres s him on para d e, and ~lmmediately received into the t rewsagrlultu in a most neglectisl "Our inforuiant represents. and declining state, the army as ins olent and rapacious ; that erninan * e handkerchief or a man's hat is not saft, on their h e ad,,, , nor a watc h i n one's pocket; and what pats a seal to all 1 1 thou tyrannies, outrages anti miseries, is that nobody dare:, to 'welts at even to speak, A poor woma n, who had been turned ultt,eflier house by soldiers an d was li nable to obtain any re. drtiet ,'ln the'eatittruty other' distress ar i l indignation, called on theismaof .thatteceasedTresident Petion, for which she was pranounwl criminal, and cast into prison.

" WAR IN JAVA. " The Buitenzorg, which left Batavia on the 4th inst., adds j little to the intelligence brought by the Eleanor, given in our last Number, except that General de Kock was reported to have itgain beaten the insurgents, and gained a complete victory.— These virories, however, appear to make but little impression upon the vanquished party, who appear resolved to harass and .annoy the European forces by a war of petty details, and by re treating into their woods and marslres, render it impossible for the Dutch troops, already harassed and dispirited, to obtain any decisive advantages over them, The destruction of the roads, bridges, &c. having rendered many parts of the country impene. trable to regular troops, will enable the insurgents, although beaten, to protract the war for a considerable period. ;It was re ported at Batavia, that the Javanese had made overtures to the Chinese on th'e island to join them , oh'ering in return to main. tain them in all the advantages and monopoly. of trade whiCh they enjoy under the European rule. If this is true, it indeed a master stroke of policy; and if the offer is accepted by the Chinese, it will effect materially, if not altogether decide, 'the issue of the present contest. The distrust of the Chinese which the Java Government evinced, by refitting their proffered services as volunteers at the commencement of the insurrection, having excited disgust amongst them, will, no doubt, tend to render the offers of the Javanese more acceptable, and their proposals, if such have been made, more successful. " The free trader Corsair has returned from Minilla since our last. She brings intelligence of the arrival of Senor Don Ma. riano Iticafort, the new Captain General of the Phillipines.— His Excellency is described as being a man of mild and affable manners, and said to be favourably disposed towards foreign. ers. Ilis behaviour towards the Chiefs of the Chinese, who according to long established custom, waited upon him with a present, on his arrival, does not, however, tend to confirm this report. It appears that he refused their present, and did not receive them with the distinction which they have been ac. customed to, and which Chinese settlers in foreign countries usually merit."

INFAN'I'!NE ARITIIMETICIAN. The Hotta of the town nre about to receive an accession to their number in the parson of Master GEORGE Nom(Es, a child only six years and a half old, but who is said to be possessed of a precocity of talentfor calculation, which has scarcely ever been paralleled, and never surpassed. The public exhibition is not to commence till to-morrow, but last night a preliminary examination took place at the Gothic Hall, Picca dilly, in presence of a large party. A variety of difficult titles. lions were propounded to him, to all of winch he gave correct answers, with a promptitude and apparent facility that fully justified the expectation excited of his astonishing natural ability. We subjoin a few of the questions and answers as the best evidence of the truth of what we have asserted. Supposing a person were to take 13 pinches of snuff during every quarter of an hour,,how many would he have taken in 15 years, reckoning 365 days to each year ?—Answer, 6,1132,000. A person is 29 years and a half old, how many minutes has he lived ?—Answer, 15,505,200. Again,. supposing him to have had an income of 4d. per minute. how much will he have received P—Answer,2s9,42oL In 650 hogsheads of 63 gallons each, how many pints, and how much would they come to at bd. per pint P—Answer, 327,600 pints-6,025/. What is the square root of 576 P—Answer 24. What is the square of 576 ?—Answer, 331,776. There are two numbers whose united amount is 249, and their difference 52„ what ate they ?This puzzled him for some time; but he refused giving up the attempt, and at last an swered, 94 and 146, which is correct. While answering these and numerous other questions, the child's attention never appeared to he abstracted from stir. rounding objects or irrelevant observations, nor, as tar as opi. nion could be formed, did these in the least impede or annoy him. The child is stated tote the son of a labourer employed in the docks to be totally uneducated; and to be totally igno. rant of the value which the characters in common .use for ex. rooting numerals represent. His father states, that the fi rst indication which he observed of his son's talent was about a year and a half back, when he told him he could count a thousand, and shortly afterwards that he could count a mil. lion. No attempt appears at this or at any other time to have been made to aid the child. in the development of his powers of mind . ; but he appears, like the great Des Cartes, without assistance to have proceeded to discover, and demonstrate for himself, so moch of the first principles of mathematics as form the basis of arithmetic, and thence by induction to have formed rules by which most of its operations could be per. formed. It Is true that these rules are not so facile or simple as those in general use, nor is it surprising they should not he, when it Is recollected they are die production of a mere child, whO could not be expected, however wonderful its natural powers, to have nt once hit upon the method which experience has proved to be the best. Indeed, the very imperfectness of the rules is a strong corroborative proof of the originality . of the boy's genius, and of his not being indebted to instruction for the proficiency which he has attained. The following is the method which the child stated himself to have adopted in multiplying 70 by 123 t-70 times 100 is 7,000, 70 times 20 is 1,400, 70 times 3 is 210-4.610. In multiplying 46 by 48, he adopted the following method -52 times 46 is 2,080-6 times 6 is 36 7 4,116. On being asked how he calculated the question as to the pinches of snufr, he said, " I did not do it in the way it was put to me. I began by multiplying 13 times 16, and that came to 145, and multiplied again by 4 made 780. I called this NO, and multiplied it by the number of hours In a year, which made 7,008,000. Then I multiplied 20 by the hours in a year, which made 175,200, and taking this front 7,008,009 it gave the correct answer." When asked why he added 20 to the 760, he 31141 " because it made it even." Some time ago, an incorrigible dram drinking son of the excise, called on a certain respect.. able disciple of Galen, in Stirling, to advise re. garding a stomach complaint, with which he wa, most grievously plagued. The learned follower of the healing art had no difficulty in ascertaining that his patient's disease arose from a sort of sympathy that existed betwixt his stomach and the " wale o' Scotia's drink," which never per mitted him to set his eyes on a glass of whisky, without feeling an irresistible desire to take the most expeditious mode of gauging its contents. The Doctor having accordingly laid before the poor gauger the present and future pernicious consequences of his tippling propensities, pro ceeded to make up a box of pills for him, which he presented to him with injunction to take a certain neither of the pills three times a day, but on no account to indulge in his old habit of dram drinking. "To be sure," said the gauger, at the same time laying down a sixpence us the price. " but ye surely canna' object to my taking n dram aforehund to fortify my stomach, maybe another to keep the pills down, and maybe a third to settle all." The Doctor remonstrated, and told him it was necessary he should com pletely forego the pleasures of whisky drinking to give the pills effect, " ye're sure they'll nol agree,", said the gau ger —ts Par certain of that," responded the. ])actor. " Then I'll no lash my self. wi' them—tak ye your pills and I'll tak my sitter," said the gauger, at the same time pocket-' ing his money and w a lki ng o ff very d e lib era t e ly. --(Stirling Journal.) 1 PRICE OF STOCKS THIS Mink Stock 3 per Cent. lied. 781 i Ili ex div. 3 per Cent. gong.. 703 9.1 9 3} per Cent.

Letters from Miadrid,dated the 24th of March, are said t o assert t h a t th e march of Spanish troops f ar t h e frontier of Portugal has been re strained, solely by the strong representations of the British Minister to the Duke del INFA:4- TAM), of the consequences of such a measure. The subjoined extracts from a Madrid Gazette received in town this morning, contain some curious details of recent executions at Orihuela and the city of Murcla—at the former of which places, the insurgent chief BAUM was shot— and at the latter, ANTONIO CARO, one of his adherents, has been consigned to the gallows., BAzior, as it should seem, had been so severely wounded, that he was executed An the lit ter.that conveyed him to the place' of exe cution. Notwithstandietg the weak state to which he must have been reduced, he long resisted the endeavours of the Priests, though assisted by the Bishop himself, to bring him to repent of the political offence for which he suffered. It is, however, asserted, that finally his spirit was subdued, and that he died like a good and penitent Christian,—thus affording, says the narrator—doubtless himself a priest—a new tri umph over the " infernal sects of the Masons and " Communeros to which he belonged." 'With ANTONIO Cane the priests were not equally successful. Unmoved by exhortntions to re pentnnce, be is represented as leaving the prison, exclaiming—" Long live my sect !" " Long Jive the Masonic Constitution !" expressions construed by the priesthood into blasphemy —and to prevent a repetition of which, the victim was gagged. Ile, nevertheless, per severed in giving utterance, as far as the engine of torture would permit, to similar exclamations, and died impeninent. Such is the horror with which the ruling party seek to inspire the people of Spain against liberalism. The feeling is not indeed confined to Spain: the Members of the Holy Alliance still maintain, as it is said, ilre im perative necessity of persevering in the principle of restraint, ou which the Holy Alliance was este lished. Austria is even rumoured to have hinted at the co-operation of England, to which, as might he expected,. her Ministers have turned a deaf car:--- SPAIN. OftIIfUELA, MARCH 4. This morning, at a quarter before eleven, the Chief Bazan was shot in the same litter (parihucla) in which he was carried, on account of his wounds being in a state of mortification. He would listen to notmention of our holy religion, nor ace any ecclesiastics, especially Monks. Notwithstanding many Priests, even the Bishop in person, in vain took all possible pains to convert him ; but an hour before he was removed from the prison to the place of punishment, he requested to see the Vicar of St. Justa, whosaarguments, during his visit in the night, had made some impression on him, and made to him a general confession with all "the outward signs of true repentance. He afterwards asked for the image of the Virgin, whom he before insulted, to ask her pardon, imploring her, with tears in his eyes, in a manner which surprised and greatly affected all who were present. On the way to the place of execution he frequently repeated his profession of faith, always begging the confessor not to leave him a moment,. that his attention Tr.ight not he diverted. This request he repeated just at the moment of his being shot, begging him to remember to commend his soul to God at the mass. There is no doubt that he died like a good and penitent Chris tian, affording this new triumph of our holy religion over the infernal sects of the Masons, Comrnuneros and friends of good, to which he belonged ; as the impenitence of his companions has opened the eyes of the deluded and of the incautious people, not to suffl.r themselves to be misled in future by the diabolicA impostures of those sects. _ _ 311711C1A, AIARCH 7. Yesterday was hanged in this city Antonio Caro, alias Jaranzalla : he died impenitent, and leaving the numerous crowd assembled on the occasion filled with consternation. The horrible scene was rendered still more frightful, by a dreadful •whirlwind which was observed at the moment that this malefactor expired, who left the prison blaspheming, and uttering expressions which cannot be repeated without blush ing ; and though a gag was put in Ms mouth, he re peated, its well as he could, Long live ray sect—Long live the IFfasonic• Constitution. ! Thus he was dragged at a horse's tail to the gallows. In spite of the efforts of the priests of all classes, they could not prevail on him to pronounce the names of Jesus and Mary, but he uttered the most dreadful blasphemies against them. After he was dead his right hand was cut off, to be fixed up on the theatre of his crimes, and his body was dragged to the dunghill. Thus these proclaimers of liberty end their days miserably ; and this is the felicity which they promise to their followers—to die like the brute beasts.— ( Madrid Gazette, March 23.) There was an arrival of German Papers this morning, from which we mnke the following extracts:— • YiniziA, MARCH 24. The recovery of his Majesty, proceeds as well as can be de sired.

The European branch of that education ought to comprise the several heads of classical and liberal learning; of mathematical and philosophical science ; of civil polity and political economy ; of the principles of ethics, public law, and municipal jurisprudence ; of history, ancient and modern. national and universal ; of the practical rules of morality, and' the sacred sanctions of religion. With these great pursuits is to be interwoven, an elementary cultivation of the Asiatic 18 n" gunge*. Such are the subjects which the young candidates for Indian honours must study, wherever their studies are to be followed. Not that it is intended, with the exception of the moral department, that all should be equally adepts in all, but that the worst should be conversant with each, and should) if possible, be strong in some. If there be any English Seminary, by whatever dooming tion called, in which this course of instruction, or the gre et " part of it, is statetlly and systematically taught, we have not heard of it; and our belief is, that unless the India College to be excepted, no such Seminary exists in any part of tha United Kingdom." NEW COTTOI4.—A particular species of cotton was recently imported into Savannah, North America, from th e env i rons o f Bogota, where it is gathered from t ree s of co n siderable height.
